@Colster (I just realized you may have me on ignore, so we'll see what happens)
I know you're probably pissed at me and I think you have some right to be. I should have found a better way to express myself than my call-out post. In retrospect, I wish I would have PM'd you and said "what's the deal?" If I could do it over again, that is what I would do. Sadly, I lack a time machine, so it is what it is. I try to be a decent person and I fail a lot.
That said, I think I also had a right to be pissed. I felt ganged up on and my attempts to express that in a more subtle manner didn't work, so I lashed out. It wasn't the best thing I could have done and it wasn't fair to others on the forum. It's also something that I rarely do, either online or in "real" life. In any case, I'm past it.
I also know that you're a decent guy who means well. I enjoy a lot of your posts and I have seen you support people in a sincere manner. So I don't want to reduce all that you are to this forum down to a single incident. That's also not fair. I like and respect you a fair amount. Unfortunately, people who you like and respect can piss you off. Sometimes they can piss you off the most. So, please take the intensity of my reaction as a reflection of my like and respect.
I also haven't read any of the reactions to my post and I don't plan to.
So, I hope we can both accept that we were both pissed, put it behind us, and carry on. You weren't really the one I was most upset with anyway. Plus, I know you're having some hard times and I am too. I'll try better to be more supportive in the future.
